Roswell quotes

Michael, I want you to listen to me very, very carefully. On this glorious, rebellious, lost weekend of yours, you will take care of my daughter. You will protect her and be kind to her, and she will have fun. You will not get matching tattoos, and you will not allow her to pierce any part of her body that cannot be shown in polite company. [Sniffles] And, Michael, if you have sex with my daughter, I will hunt you down and kill you like the mangy dog you are. Okay?

Michael

Okay.

Call me if you need bail money.

Maria

What'd she say?

Michael

[Sighs] She wants you to have fun.

Michael

If it was me, I’d tell us to get screwed and call the cops anyways.

Maria

That’s 'cause you don’t have any money Michael. People who do tend to get a little nervous when it’s threatened.

Kyle

What do you suppose alien crystals are going for on eBay?

Michael

Nightmares, Maxwell. I can't shake them. I've had them every night for two weeks. I mean my brain needs a vacation, or I swear to God I'm going to lose it on someone or something, and it's not gonna to be pretty.

Michael

Hey! I've been going through some heavy stuff the last couple of weeks. In case you missed it, I got shot.

Max

I know, I healed you.

Michael

You put your hand over my shoulder and you did your little trick like a robot. You're a machine, Max. You wouldn't know the first thing about what it takes to heal me. To really heal me.

So you skipped school. Missing class is excusable if it involves saving a planet-- yours, mine, or any other. It is not acceptable if it is done in the name of under-age gambling. Is that clear?

Michael

Just kill me now. I don't do proms. I don't believe in them.

Maria

You don't believe in them?!

Michael

The whole thing is totally bogus. It's completely unnatural.

Maria

You know what? I, I find it to be really unnatural that you're half alien warrior and half Grandpa Dupree! But I make do.

We try to live responsible logical lives, but we can't tell our hearts what to feel. Sometimes our hearts lead us to places we never thought we wanted to go, and sometimes our hearts can be the sweetest gentlest things we have. Sometimes our hearts can make us feel miserable anger, excited and confused all at once. But at least my heart is open, and I'm writing again. I'm feeling. I'm breathing.

Max

You can't compare The Matrix to Crouching Tiger.

Michael

Crapping Tiger is a chick flick with kung-fu.

Oh, honey. I wish -- I wish I had some kind of special powers or something to make all of this go away for you.

Isabel

Special powers don't help.

Maria

If you're here to trash-talk, I'm gonna have to take a rain check, 'cause that is the only way I'm gonna get through a simple school day without losing it, all right?

Tess

You're scared to go home.

Max

What is home? Is home really up there? I just feel like this whole idea about where we come from, and I want to believe it. I want to understand it more and more, but it just feels like this dream... this, this dream that I can never really quite touch or see or...feel. And earth just seems so much more... real.

Max

Michael. The idea that Alex might have died just because we're here... I can't bear it. All those times you would run off chasing some clue to find out where we come from. Why we're here. Where we belong. I always thought you were chasing something that wasn't out there, because in my heart, I believed that we belonged here, you know? That we were human. Lately, I've been thinking that you might have been right all along.

Michael

Lately, I've been thinking I might have been wrong all along.

Maria

I can't count on you.

Michael

Yes, you can. I'll take care of this. I mean, I'm right here for you.

Maria

But you won't always be.

Michael

What?

Maria

One day you're gonna leave me. You're gonna get on a spaceship and go away, and you being the perfect boyfriend right now is really not helping me. I can't lose anyone else, Michael. My heart can't handle it.

Liz

That was weird.

Michael

What was?

Liz

Maria just hung up on me.

Michael

Happens to me all the time.
